Night Loops News

Hey there!

Back again and honestly couldn't wait to share this.

[h2]Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, and Profile Backgrounds are now released![/h2]

Below are a few items from each set, and hoping the rest will be a pleasant surprise~

[h3]Trading Cards (5 total + foil versions)[/h3]
In the last post, I shared Ellenia and Myne’s WIP large versions, so here’s those finished, along with their new foil Trading Card versions ↓





Since parts of Night Loops call to mind the completion of a self-portrait, we wanted the Trading Cards to feel hand-drawn. For this, the character art and backgrounds were drawn at various times these past years, either separately or together. Then digitally, were edited together, adding extra shading and final touches. (Exception is for Myne’s sanctuary background which all credit goes to Estella!)

I thought it might be fun to share some in-process pics rather than keeping it all in the dark vault never to be seen again. Here’s a look at some of the original drawings that were scanned in along with some of the tools used:



[h2]And a couple more picks from the set...[/h2]

[h3]Badges (6 total including 1 foil)[/h3]



These may look a bit familiar

[h3]Emoticons (7 total)[/h3]



New pixel art for these

[h3]Profile Backgrounds (5 total)[/h3]

Fateful Kelsingør making for quite the background

Looking forward to hear what you think about the rest if you may stumble upon them in the wild. And see you at the next update!

Hey there!

I know I mentioned it already in the patch update, but wanted to start our first post-launch announcement by saying thank you from the Night Loops team! I’m incredibly grateful for all your support and for helping launch be a successful one. It’s also been a pleasure reading all the reviews/feedback. I’ll continue to note any issues that are brought up in them and in the discussions too.

It’s a little cliché to say, but it’d seem release is not the end of the line. What we’re working on now are Trading Cards! I’m looking to submit these to Steam by the end of next week, so they should be up live shortly afterwards, pending the review process.

Here’s a peek at Ellenia and Myne’s WIP cards ↓





That is all, hope Halloween was wonderful and see you at the next patch!

Hey everyone,

First off, thanks for supporting us through launch week! I really can’t express how grateful I am.

Today we’ve made a small patch to update to v1.0.1.

• Fixed escape shortcut bug in Saved Game Files screen
  
• Added more detail to Ballroom’s upper stage rug (realized this looked a little odd!)
  
• Added Segyero to the credits
  

Also started on getting the Psychic Duck mask to show on Discord activity, but I wasn’t able to finish this up in time for this update. (EDIT: this works now!)

In other news, we are excited to announce our participation in Steam Scream: The Revenge, starting from today, October 26th, and ending on November 2nd. Make sure to check us out, as well as all of the other amazing games featured!

As always, let us know about any bugs you may find in the discussions or in the discord.

Until next time!

P.S. Spooky season is finally here!

[h3]Night Loops, our psychological-horror adventure, visual novel game, is now officially available to play! Prepare to embark on a unique journey, from our desk to yours.[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h3]✰Journey Through the Psyche:[/h3] Welcome to the Seaside Hotel, where you can at times still catch that familiar scent of the tide. Here, the final hour of your night shift awaits. Within its forgotten corridors, tend to enigmatic guests, explore the depths of their last wishes, and prepare to cast away the sense of Self. In this dark and surreal adventure, you'll uncover the – perhaps unobtainable – path to truth by donning masks of their original owners.

[h3]✰One Hour Before Dawn Lives an Endless Mansion:[/h3] Immerse yourself in the mysteries of an underground mansion trapped within the last hour before Nautical Dawn. It’s the fated time when light first passes the horizon, separating sea from sky. It’s also something you’ve been tracking to pass the nights… Untangle intricate puzzles tied to the mansion residents while they live out their desires in this final hour before dawn. Manage enchanted masks and juggle the powers of their original owners. Journey through the endless dreamscapes in search of the elusive truth(s) about the hotel and its mysterious owner.

[h3]✰A Story Felt: [/h3]An unassuming ink blot ready to take shape, is about how we’d like to describe the story. It’s the tale of climbing out of the sometimes unescapable day-to-day nowhere. It’s rumored, that through The Path, an inner world can be rebuilt, and your very ownership returned. Night Loops’ story was carefully written to gently guide certain parts of the storyline while others remain to your interpretation. In the end, our hope is that it’s a story we all have lived.

[h3]Support Our Indie Journey: We understand the extraordinary strength of our community, and your support means the world to us as a three-person indie team. Here's how you can make a difference:[/h3]

✰Spreading the Word: Share the game's intriguing presence with your family, friends, and even your favorite streamers, and let them join in on the journey of unraveling the mysteries. ✰

No pressure, though. We're just thrilled to have you here with us.

Sincerely,
J, s3-z, and Estella

As the clock ticks ominously towards the end of the night shift, I have a spine-chilling announcement for you: Night Loops is scheduled to open its mansion doors on October 16th.

I couldn't have thought of a better day than today, Friday the 13th, to announce this exciting news. It’s been a nearly three and a half year journey developing this game with plenty of twists and turns and not to mention dead ends... but it’s sincerely, in the end, been a joy.

For this occasion, we worked with our publisher to create a special Release Date Announcement trailer too~
